Yucky Yeast

Yeast overgrowth is a common problem that plagues many people due to the high-sugar, high-carb, high-stress lifestyles that most people lead. People usually don’t realize that yeast is affecting their health, so it often gets left untreated and can continue to get worse. Yeast overgrowth (you may have heard of candida overgrowth, which is a type of yeast) can cause many different symptoms, and may contribute to the development of certain health conditions.

Symptoms

Symptoms can include:

IBS

Constipation

Autoimmune Conditions

Fatigue

Sugar Cravings

Fungal Infections

UTI’s

Bloating

Many of the symptoms listed can be caused by other health issues, so it can be difficult to determine whether or not you’re suffering from yeast overgrowth. However, yeast overgrowth may be the root cause of certain health conditions in some people, so getting it under control is often more important than we realize.

Treatment

Yeast overgrowth is so common that almost everyone has it to some degree. Sugar, stress, carbs, processed foods, and unbalanced gut bacteria create the perfect environment for yeast to thrive in, but the good news is that you can treat yeast overgrowth naturally. Decreasing your sugar, processed food, and processed carbohydrate intake is very important when it comes to controlling yeast. Yeast needs carbs and sugar to feed on, so eliminating their food supply weakens them and can help starve them out. You should also take a high-quality probiotic to help balance the good and bad bacteria in your gut, which makes it harder for yeast to survive. Last but not least, you should eat more vegetables, especially cruciferous vegetables due to their strong detox abilities. Cruciferous vegetables should be a part of everyone’s diet, even if they don’t struggle with yeast, because they contain fiber and many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Everyone should be taking a probiotic, but it’s even more important if you’re trying to control yeast. Balancing the gut bacteria has a long list of potential benefits including controlling yeast, improving digestion, and in some cases decreasing the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Candicid Forte is another good choice in your fight against yeast because it contains things like oregano leaf extract, cinnamon bark extract, ginger root, and other ingredients that can help fight and control yeast. All of these ingredients can help reduce yeast, and they may have a stronger effect when taken together.

Controlling yeast in your body can have many benefits, and may even help lessen the symptoms of certain health issues. So, eat your vegetables, take your probiotic, decrease sugar and carbs, and work on reducing stress – your body will thank you.
